The best adventures are those that contain surprises. There are wonders to be discovered by getting lost in the Highlands of Scotland or on the back roads of New England. There may just be a chance to meet a special character who changes your life. In ancient times these were sometimes known as angels.
WELCOME
This blog is about the adventure of traveling and especially the interesting people that you meet. We will share stories about people and places we have encountered from around the United States, Ireland, Scotland, England, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, France, Canada, Spain, Mexico, The Vatican, The Netherlands, Belgium, Zambia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Liechtenstein, Portugal, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, and more. This is not a travelogue -- we leave that to Rick Steves -- this is a collection of fragments in the journey of life.

View from the Altamont, California
The Altamont is a small "mountain" range that lies between the Central Valley of California and the Livermore Valley. It is around a half hour from our house. We can easily see it. One of its claims to fame is that it is home to large windmill "farms" along Hwy 580. The picture above is taken from a friend's ranch and looks back - through the valley haze - to Stockton California. Turning the other direction, one sees Mount Diablo. On a clear day, you can see across the valley to the Sierra Nevadas.
